To investigate the sex-related differences in single-task performance through motor torque, cognitive tasks and walking speed, and the combined dual-task costs (DTCs) considering both motor and cognitive performance in young adults.
Sixty-seven non-athletic subjects 37 females and 30 males were enrolled. The study measured their knee extension muscle torque using an isokinetic strength dynamometer and their walking speed using the one step app. these assessments were performed both with and without a cognitive task, and the DTCs were calculated.
The females exhibited significantly larger motor performance dual task effect through (torque-DTC, speed-DTC) compared with males while exhibiting smaller cognitive dual task effect with muscle torque and speed.
Deterioration in motor performance during muscle force production and speed during dual tasks was large in females compared to males, whereas males experience a decline in cognitive ability when performing dual tasks compared with females.
通过运动扭矩、认知任务和步行速度研究年轻人单任务表现中的性别差异,以及考虑运动和认知表现的联合双任务成本(DTC)。
招募了67名非运动员受试者,其中37名女性和30名男性。该研究使用等速力量测力计测量他们的膝关节伸展肌肉扭矩,并使用一步应用程序测量他们的步行速度。这些评估在有和没有认知任务的情况下都进行了,并计算了DTC。
与男性相比,女性在运动表现双任务效应方面(扭矩-DTC、速度-DTC)显著更大,而在肌肉扭矩和速度方面的认知双任务效应较小。
与男性相比,女性在双任务期间肌肉力量产生时的运动表现恶化和速度下降幅度更大,而男性在执行双任务时与女性相比认知能力下降。
